Bath resealing in Sutton-on-the-Forest, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Sutton-on-the-Forest

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with 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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What affects the price in Sutton-on-the-Forest

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO61 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Sutton-on-the-Forest questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Sutton-on-the-Forest and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
