Bath resealing in Killinghall

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

About our bath resealing in Killinghall

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

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 we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HG3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath resealing in Killinghall

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Killinghall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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