Trusted bath resealing in Selside

Bath resealing in Selside, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Selside

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Do you come to Selside?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Selside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selside

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When to call us in Selside

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
