Bath resealing near Skirpenbeck

About our bath resealing in Skirpenbeck

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skirpenbeck and across East Riding of Yorkshire.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Skirpenbeck: your questions answered

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Skirpenbeck. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skirpenbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Skirpenbeck, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Skirpenbeck?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
