Bath resealing near Harmby

About our bath resealing in Harmby

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlord and trade work in Harmby

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Signs you need bath resealing in Harmby

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
