Bath resealing for Leesthorpe homes

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

How we handle bath resealing in Leesthorpe

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we are called out for in Leesthorpe

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Leesthorpe

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Resealing in Leesthorpe: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

FAQs for Leesthorpe

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leesthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.
