Bath resealing in Great Ayton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Common problems we fix in Great Ayton

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Resealing in Great Ayton: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Great Ayton: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

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

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.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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