Your questions about bath resealing in Great Asby
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Great Asby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
About our bath resealing in Great Asby
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Great Asby
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.
Landlord and trade work in Great Asby
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Asby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
