Bath resealing in Fixby without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Fixby: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

What do you need from me?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What we are called out for in Fixby

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Common reasons people in Fixby contact us are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Fixby

We charge the same across the UK, including Fixby. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fixby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

How to look after the repair

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
