Book bath resealing in Scropton

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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.

About our bath resealing in Scropton

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are frequently asked to fix stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scropton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Scropton

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Scropton included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE65 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
