Bath resealing near Reeth

Bath resealing in Reeth without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Reeth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reeth

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Reeth. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
