How we handle bath resealing in Northorpe

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Questions from Northorpe

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Northorpe

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Northorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

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