Hurworth Place questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Hurworth Place?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL2 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Bath resealing in Hurworth Place, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hurworth Place as everywhere else we work.

Landlord and trade work in Hurworth Place

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hurworth Place. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hurworth Place

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
