Bath resealing in Rake without replacing anything

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

Rake questions

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

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HX7 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is my repair covered?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you cover the whole of Calderdale?

We work UK-wide, so Rake is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

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 reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Rake

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Rake. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rake, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
