Bath resealing in Church Houses

How we handle bath resealing in Church Houses

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Church Houses and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Church Houses

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Church Houses

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Take a look at our pricing.

Landlord and trade work in Church Houses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Church Houses, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
