Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Halstow

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Lower Halstow

There is no charge for travel to Lower Halstow. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common questions in Lower Halstow

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Do the materials smell?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does someone need to be in?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
