Bath resealing in The Handfords

Bath resealing in The Handfords without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat 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. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months in The Handfords and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

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

If you manage property in The Handfords, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we work on in The Handfords

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Do you need bath resealing in The Handfords?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

FAQs for The Handfords

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so The Handfords is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in The Handfords?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
