Bath resealing in Foggathorpe

About our bath resealing in Foggathorpe

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant.

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Common problems we fix in Foggathorpe

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Foggathorpe questions

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

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.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What affects the price in Foggathorpe

We charge the same across the UK, including Foggathorpe. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
