Bath resealing for Kexbrough homes

About our bath resealing in Kexbrough

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, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

If you’re in Kexbrough and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Choosing a repair company

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’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Questions from Kexbrough

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for Kexbrough?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
