Trusted bath resealing in West Barnby

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Bath resealing in West Barnby, done in place

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

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are there extra charges for West Barnby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Barnby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Barnby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Why it’s worth resealing in West Barnby

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Do you need bath resealing in West Barnby?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
