Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harehill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our bath resealing in Harehill

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath resealing in Harehill

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Are there extra charges for Harehill?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why does mould come back so fast?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When to call us in Harehill

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harehill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
