How we handle bath resealing in Swillington Common

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swillington Common and across Leeds.

Common questions in Swillington Common

Can landlords book you?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Swillington Common

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  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, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Swillington Common

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swillington Common as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Swillington Common. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We do not add 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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swillington Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
