Bath resealing near Walkington

How we handle bath resealing in Walkington

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Resealing in Walkington: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Walkington customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Walkington

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Walkington and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Signs you need bath resealing in Walkington

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
