Bath resealing in Cawood, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cawood and across North Yorkshire.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Cawood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Cawood clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Cawood questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Do you need bath resealing in Cawood?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
