Bath resealing at your home in Skellingthorpe

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skellingthorpe and across Lincolnshire.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Skellingthorpe

We don’t charge extra for travel to Skellingthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Skellingthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

FAQs for Skellingthorpe

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for Skellingthorpe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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