Bath resealing for Felthorpe homes

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing at your home in Felthorpe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Felthorpe

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Felthorpe

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Felthorpe?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR10 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
