Trusted bath resealing in Skirlaugh

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Skirlaugh, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skirlaugh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Skirlaugh, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Skirlaugh

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
