Bath resealing for Leavening homes

Bath resealing in Leavening, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Leavening

Leavening questions

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Leavening included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Leavening?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Leavening from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need bath resealing in Leavening?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Leavening

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Leavening, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
