Bath resealing in Wardhedges

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath resealing in Wardhedges

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When to call us in Wardhedges

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath resealing in Wardhedges

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Central Bedfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wardhedges as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your MK45 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Resealing in Wardhedges: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
