Trusted bath resealing in Wath

Bath resealing in Wath, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wath

Are there extra charges for Wath?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Wath and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Wath. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Wath, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wath

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Wath

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
