DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Bath resealing in Askham Richard without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Askham Richard

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. 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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.
