About our bath resealing in Knotford

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and an untidy old seal, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Knotford and across Leeds.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Knotford

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knotford. 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 help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage

  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Knotford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
