Bath resealing in Rodley

Bath resealing at your home in Rodley

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Rodley

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Rodley

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

What affects the price in Rodley

We charge the same across the UK, including Rodley. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Rodley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Rodley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rodley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
