Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we handle bath resealing in Skelton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need bath resealing in Skelton?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skelton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Questions from Skelton

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

We cover the entire UK, including Skelton and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Skelton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Skelton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Skelton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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