Trusted bath resealing in Fewston Bents

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Fewston Bents: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Fewston Bents

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
