Questions from Longhill

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Longhill?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Bath resealing at your home in Longhill

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Longhill

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Longhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Longhill?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
