10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in West Burton, 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. We’re often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in West Burton

  • Basins & vanity units

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

West Burton questions

Do you cover West Burton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to West Burton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What affects the price in West Burton

There is no charge for travel to West Burton. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
