Bath resealing for Hyde homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

About our bath resealing in Hyde

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Hyde

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Hyde

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What areas do you cover?

All of Swindon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hyde

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

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Hyde. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hyde. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
