Bath resealing for Fishergate homes

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Fishergate. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fishergate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle bath resealing in Fishergate

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

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

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Fishergate?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for these signs:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Fishergate

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
