Bath resealing near Ganstead

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Bath resealing in Ganstead, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

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

Common questions in Ganstead

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Ganstead

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ganstead

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
