Trusted bath resealing in Scapegoat Hill

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath resealing at your home in Scapegoat Hill

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Scapegoat Hill

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you come to Scapegoat Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Scapegoat Hill and the rest of Kirklees. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scapegoat Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Scapegoat Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HD7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
