How we handle bath resealing in Scalby

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Scalby

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Scalby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Scalby: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Resealing in Scalby: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Scalby

If you manage property in Scalby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Advice

Honest limits

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

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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