Trusted bath resealing in New Farnley

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

How we handle bath resealing in New Farnley

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

New Farnley questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in New Farnley.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for New Farnley. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in New Farnley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Jobs in LS12 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. From Lawns Lane, Coach Road and Wolley Avenue or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Farnley (1 mile north), Troydale (1 mile north-west), Gildersome (1 mile south), Gamble Hill (1 mile north) and Tong (2 miles west).

Landlord and trade work in New Farnley

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Farnley 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
