What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing at your home in Brafferton

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Brafferton. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Brafferton, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Brafferton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Brafferton?

We do. Technicians travel to Brafferton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Brafferton

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
