Bath resealing for Earby homes

About our bath resealing in Earby

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Earby

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

Are there extra charges for Earby?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Earby included. Travel is included in the price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need bath resealing in Earby?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Earby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Earby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

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