Bath resealing near Gledhow

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Gledhow. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing at your home in Gledhow

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gledhow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Gledhow: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of Leeds?

We cover the whole UK, including Gledhow and the rest of Leeds. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What we are called out for in Gledhow

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal

Why it’s worth resealing in Gledhow

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gledhow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
