Bath resealing in Armathwaite without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Armathwaite

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath resealing in Armathwaite

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Armathwaite?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Armathwaite. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Armathwaite

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
