Bath resealing near Skidby

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Bath resealing at your home in Skidby

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Skidby

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Skidby and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Dry the seal after bathing
Use the extractor fan
Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

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.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Skidby

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Look out for these signs:

Black spots in the silicone
Gaps by the taps
Leaks at the edges
Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before booking

Resealing in Skidby: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Skidby

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

The material
Where the damage is and how we get to it
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Skidby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Details of any past repairs
Where you are, by postcode
A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
Old sealant and residue are removed.
We clean, treat and dry the joint.
We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ensure the room can be ventilated
