Your questions about bath resealing in Wath upon Dearne

Do you work in Wath upon Dearne?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wath upon Dearne and the rest of Barnsley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Bath resealing in Wath upon Dearne, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Wath upon Dearne

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wath upon Dearne. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S63 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wath upon Dearne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Wath upon Dearne

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
