Bath resealing in Lower Haysden without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Lower Haysden

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Lower Haysden: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Resealing in Lower Haysden: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Haysden

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
