About our bath resealing in Staveley

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

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

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Staveley

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How long does a reseal take?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Staveley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

When to call us in Staveley

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
