Trusted bath resealing in Cleasby

Bath resealing in Cleasby without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cleasby

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Take a look at our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about bath resealing in Cleasby

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What affects the price in Cleasby

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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.
