Bath resealing for Allerthorpe homes

About our bath resealing in Allerthorpe

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Allerthorpe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Allerthorpe

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

FAQs for Allerthorpe

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
