Bath resealing in Gipton

About our bath resealing in Gipton

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. We’re often asked to fix unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

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

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Signs you need bath resealing in Gipton

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Unsealed corners

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about bath resealing in Gipton

Do you work in Gipton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gipton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
