Your questions about bath resealing in Cotton Stones

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

About our bath resealing in Cotton Stones

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

When to call us in Cotton Stones

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Cotton Stones, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Resealing in Cotton Stones: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

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 clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
