Bath resealing near Outwood

Bath resealing at your home in Outwood

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried 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, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.

What affects the price in Outwood

We do not charge extra for travel to Outwood. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Outwood

For anyone letting property in or around Outwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in Outwood

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How much does bath resealing cost in Outwood?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Are there extra charges for Outwood?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
