Need bath resealing in Rickmansworth?

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.

Bath resealing at your home in Rickmansworth

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Rickmansworth

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Rickmansworth?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do you come to Rickmansworth?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rickmansworth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rickmansworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Rickmansworth

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Rickmansworth

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
