About our bath resealing in Catshaw

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • 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: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Catshaw

How much does bath resealing cost in Catshaw?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?

We work UK-wide, so Catshaw is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Catshaw?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Catshaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Catshaw

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
