About our bath resealing in New York

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Do you need bath resealing in New York?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from New York

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for New York. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
