Bath resealing in Cragg Vale without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cragg Vale as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Cragg Vale

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Cragg Vale?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cragg Vale and the rest of Calderdale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cragg Vale

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

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
