Bath resealing for Methley Lanes homes

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Methley Lanes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Methley Lanes

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
