Bath resealing in Whitwell-on-the-Hill

Bath resealing in Whitwell-on-the-Hill, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Whitwell-on-the-Hill

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Common problems we fix in Whitwell-on-the-Hill

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Whitwell-on-the-Hill

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
