Book bath resealing in Wensley

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

About our bath resealing in Wensley

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wensley as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What affects the price in Wensley

There’s no area surcharge for Wensley. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Wensley

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Wensley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wensley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What do you need from me?

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

Is there a guarantee?

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Wensley

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair
