Bath resealing at your home in Stean

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When to call us in Stean

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Stean

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Stean clients choose us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
