Bath resealing for Throxenby homes

Bath resealing in Throxenby, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Throxenby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Throxenby

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How much does bath resealing cost in Throxenby?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you need bath resealing in Throxenby?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
