What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we handle bath resealing in Birdsall

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Birdsall and across North Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, 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.

Birdsall: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What affects the price in Birdsall

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Resealing in Birdsall: why it matters

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
