What we are called out for in Askrigg

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Askrigg without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Askrigg

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Askrigg and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Askrigg?

We do. We send a technician to Askrigg for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Askrigg

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
