Bath resealing for Taylor Hill homes

About our bath resealing in Taylor Hill

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Taylor Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Taylor Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Taylor Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Taylor Hill

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Taylor Hill customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Taylor Hill

Do I need to be at home?

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

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
