Bath resealing in Minster

How we handle bath resealing in Minster

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Do you need bath resealing in Minster?

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Minster

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Minster. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
