Bath resealing in Askern without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Askern and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, 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. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Askern

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Askern

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Askern

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
