How we handle bath resealing in Littlethorpe

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Questions from Littlethorpe

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How much does bath resealing cost in Littlethorpe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Littlethorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Littlethorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Littlethorpe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Littlethorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Littlethorpe

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

When to call us in Littlethorpe

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
