Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Do you need bath resealing in Ackworth Moor Top?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Ackworth Moor Top and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Ackworth Moor Top: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
