Bath resealing in Harswell

Harswell questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Bath resealing in Harswell, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Harswell and across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harswell

For anyone letting property in or around Harswell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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 we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Harswell

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.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
