Landlord and trade work in Foulby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle bath resealing in Foulby
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Foulby
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath resealing cost in Foulby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How quickly can you book me in?

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Foulby
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before you book anyone

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
