  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

How we handle bath resealing in Anlaby Park

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Anlaby Park: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Anlaby Park?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Hull?

Everywhere in the UK, Anlaby Park included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we do, step by step

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

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

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

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Anlaby Park

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Anlaby Park, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Anlaby Park, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Anlaby Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Anlaby Park customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
