Your questions about bath resealing in Otley

Do you cover Otley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Otley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

About our bath resealing in Otley

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.

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

Do you need bath resealing in Otley?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
