Bath resealing in Etton

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Etton, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

When to call us in Etton

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Etton questions

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
