Bath resealing for Steppingley homes

About our bath resealing in Steppingley

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

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

Common questions in Steppingley

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How long does resealing take?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common problems we fix in Steppingley

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

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

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
