About our bath resealing in Ravenstonedale

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

There’s no area surcharge for Ravenstonedale. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Ravenstonedale

Are there extra charges for Ravenstonedale?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
