Bath resealing for Upper Hartfield homes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Bath resealing at your home in Upper Hartfield

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Hartfield

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Send pictures for a quote

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Upper Hartfield

  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
