Bath resealing in Friendly

How we handle bath resealing in Friendly

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Friendly

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Friendly use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Friendly, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

How we price bath resealing

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Friendly

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Calderdale.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Friendly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
