What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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

How we handle bath resealing in Slipton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When to call us in Slipton

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before booking

Resealing in Slipton: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Your questions about bath resealing in Slipton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
