What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing at your home in Wheldrake

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wheldrake

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Wheldrake

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself 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. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Questions from Wheldrake

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Wheldrake

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
