Bath resealing for Pilgrims Hatch homes

Bath resealing at your home in Pilgrims Hatch

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Pilgrims Hatch. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pilgrims Hatch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
