  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we handle bath resealing in Gowthorpe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in Gowthorpe

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How soon can you come?

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

Do you cover Gowthorpe?

We do. Technicians travel to Gowthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

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.

The process

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 a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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