Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing at your home in Silkstone

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Silkstone and across Barnsley.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

FAQs for Silkstone

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Silkstone?

We do. Technicians travel to Silkstone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Barnsley and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Silkstone

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price
