Bath resealing in Brough with St Giles

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Bath resealing at your home in Brough with St Giles

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in Brough with St Giles

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Brough with St Giles: your questions answered

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How long before I can shower?

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

Do you cover Brough with St Giles?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brough with St Giles and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Brough with St Giles: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
