About our bath resealing in Bracken Hill

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. 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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Bracken Hill: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When to call us in Bracken Hill

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Bracken Hill. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

Materials we work on in Bracken Hill

Landlord and trade work in Bracken Hill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Bracken Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
