About our bath resealing in Adel

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Signs you need bath resealing in Adel

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

Adel questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you come to Adel?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Adel from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Adel. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Adel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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