Bath resealing near Laverton

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we handle bath resealing in Laverton

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Laverton customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Laverton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Stained silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Laverton. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
