Bath resealing at your home in Ferriby Sluice

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ferriby Sluice

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ferriby Sluice

If you manage property in Ferriby Sluice, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DN18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Ferriby Sluice questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover Ferriby Sluice?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ferriby Sluice from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Ferriby Sluice. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

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

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
