How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Bath resealing at your home in Sandsend

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include stained silicone and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sandsend and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Air the room after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Sandsend?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Sandsend

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sandsend

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you work in Sandsend?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sandsend from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
