Bath resealing in Newlay

Bath resealing in Newlay without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newlay and across Leeds.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Newlay

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Newlay and the rest of Leeds. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Newlay

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
