About our bath resealing in West Harptree

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in West Harptree

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Harptree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from West Harptree

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you accredited?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in West Harptree?

We do. Repair technicians travel to West Harptree from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need bath resealing in West Harptree?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Harptree use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
