What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Derwenthorpe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common problems we fix in Derwenthorpe

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Common questions in Derwenthorpe

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across York.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Derwenthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Derwenthorpe and the rest of York. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
