We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fulwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bath resealing in Fulwood without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

Resealing in Fulwood: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Fulwood questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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

When to call us in Fulwood

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Common reasons people in Fulwood contact us are:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Fulwood

We charge the same across the UK, including Fulwood. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.
