Bath resealing for Kirkby-in-Ashfield homes

About our bath resealing in Kirkby-in-Ashfield

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NG17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Kirkby-in-Ashfield

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

Kirkby-in-Ashfield: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long before I can shower?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
