Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in Ferry Fryston

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Ferry Fryston questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Ferry Fryston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ferry Fryston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Wakefield.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What we are called out for in Ferry Fryston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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