Bath resealing in Kirkby Malham

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Bath resealing in Kirkby Malham without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.

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

FAQs for Kirkby Malham

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Kirkby Malham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kirkby Malham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What we’re called out for in Kirkby Malham

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Kirkby Malham

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
