Bath resealing for Longhorsley homes

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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

What we work on

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

How we handle bath resealing in Longhorsley

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There’s 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently 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’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Longhorsley questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE65 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Longhorsley clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area

Signs you need bath resealing in Longhorsley

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
