Bath resealing in Sherburn without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re often asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Sherburn

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Are there extra charges for Sherburn?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Sherburn

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
