How we handle bath resealing in Ilkley

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

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

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Ilkley. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in Ilkley

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Ilkley

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Ilkley?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ilkley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Landlord and trade work in Ilkley

For anyone letting property in or around Ilkley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
