Landlords, agents and businesses in Bogthorn

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bogthorn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

About our bath resealing in Bogthorn

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BD22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Bogthorn

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bogthorn

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Bogthorn and the rest of Bradford. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
