Bath resealing in Escrick without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone, we can usually put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Escrick. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

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 photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Escrick

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

Common reasons people in Escrick contact us include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll 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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Your questions about bath resealing in Escrick

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do I need to be at home?

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

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.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. 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 you book.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
