About our bath resealing in Killerby

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Killerby and across North Yorkshire.

  • Wet rooms

Landlords, agents and businesses in Killerby

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Killerby

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

Do the materials smell?

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
