About our bath resealing in Seacroft

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Seacroft customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Seacroft, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Seacroft

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Seacroft?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
