How we handle bath resealing in Great Horton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Great Horton

Great Horton questions

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Common problems we fix in Great Horton

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Great Horton contact us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
