Bath resealing near Kirkbride

Bath resealing in Kirkbride, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Kirkbride. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath resealing in Kirkbride?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Kirkbride

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirkbride. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Kirkbride questions

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long does resealing take?

Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Do you come to Kirkbride?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirkbride. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
