Need bath resealing in Ossett?

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Bath resealing in Ossett without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ossett

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ossett?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ossett

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Ossett, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Resealing in Ossett: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
