About our bath resealing in Burnt Yates

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Your questions about bath resealing in Burnt Yates

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Burnt Yates

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
