Bath resealing in Ellerby

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Advice

About our bath resealing in Ellerby

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Ellerby

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

Ellerby questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
