Need bath resealing in Flockton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Bath resealing in Flockton, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and unsealed corners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Flockton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Flockton: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Flockton

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
