Bath resealing near Exelby

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Bath resealing at your home in Exelby

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Exelby

  • Basins & vanity units

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need bath resealing in Exelby

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Exelby: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Exelby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Exelby. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Exelby included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for 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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

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