Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop Wilton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Bath resealing in Bishop Wilton without replacing anything

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap 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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Bishop Wilton

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bishop Wilton

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bishop Wilton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Bishop Wilton. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
