Bath resealing for St Mary Hoo homes

Bath resealing at your home in St Mary Hoo

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

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

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Mary Hoo. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our prices page.

What affects the price in St Mary Hoo

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in St Mary Hoo

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal

St Mary Hoo questions

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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