Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Barwick in Elmet

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Barwick in Elmet contact us are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Barwick in Elmet

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does resealing take?

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Barwick in Elmet

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
