Bath resealing in Arkendale

About our bath resealing in Arkendale

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Arkendale, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Arkendale

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long will it take?

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

Do you work in Arkendale?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Arkendale and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Arkendale

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
