Bath resealing near Gawber

Bath resealing in Gawber without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Questions from Gawber

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Gawber: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
