Bath resealing in Tinshill, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tinshill and across Leeds.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Tinshill

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

Your questions about bath resealing in Tinshill

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tinshill.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. 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 dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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