Bath resealing in Mill Hill

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Bath resealing in Mill Hill without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Mill Hill questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Mill Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mill Hill and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Mill Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need bath resealing in Mill Hill?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blackburn with Darwen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
