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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Resealing in Lower Dunsforth: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Lower Dunsforth?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lower Dunsforth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Lower Dunsforth

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
