Great Kelk questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your YO25 postcode.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Great Kelk and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

About our bath resealing in Great Kelk

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Great Kelk

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Great Kelk

If you manage property in Great Kelk, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
