Bath resealing for Hutchesontown homes

Bath resealing in Hutchesontown, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Hutchesontown

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Hutchesontown

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Hutchesontown

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hutchesontown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK

What we’re called out for in Hutchesontown

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
