Bath resealing near Hexthorpe

Do you need bath resealing in Hexthorpe?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath resealing in Hexthorpe

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Doncaster.

Hexthorpe questions

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN4 postcode.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hexthorpe. Prices do not change with location.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Doncaster and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hexthorpe

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Hexthorpe. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Most clients in Hexthorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
