Bath resealing in Flappit Spring

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How we handle bath resealing in Flappit Spring

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Flappit Spring questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Flappit Spring?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Flappit Spring and the rest of Bradford. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What we are called out for in Flappit Spring

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Resealing in Flappit Spring: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flappit Spring use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
