Bath resealing near Middlethorpe

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Middlethorpe: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Middlethorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Middlethorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Middlethorpe?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Middlethorpe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Middlethorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
