Bath resealing in Wortley

Bath resealing at your home in Wortley

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Wortley

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Wortley?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Wortley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Common problems we fix in Wortley

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
