Trusted bath resealing in Salton

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Salton

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Salton: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before booking

  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
