Bath resealing in West Harton

About our bath resealing in West Harton

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray.

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in West Harton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why West Harton customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
