Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we handle bath resealing in Kirklington

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kirklington as everywhere else we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Kirklington

There is no charge for travel to Kirklington. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Kirklington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

  • A messy previous reseal

How to compare quotes

Questions from Kirklington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kirklington?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL8 postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlord and trade work in Kirklington

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
