Bath resealing in Ushaw Moor, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and mould you can’t clean out.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why it’s worth resealing in Ushaw Moor

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Ushaw Moor

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Ushaw Moor. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

What affects the price in Ushaw Moor

There is no charge for travel to Ushaw Moor. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Ushaw Moor and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ushaw Moor

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ushaw Moor use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Use 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we’re called out for in Ushaw Moor

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
