Signs you need bath resealing in Kettlesing Bottom

  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

Bath resealing at your home in Kettlesing Bottom

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kettlesing Bottom and across North Yorkshire.

Kettlesing Bottom: your questions answered

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kettlesing Bottom.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.

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

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HG3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Resealing in Kettlesing Bottom: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kettlesing Bottom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our prices page.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
