Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle bath resealing in Yockleton

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Yockleton and across Shropshire.

Yockleton: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Yockleton.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Yockleton

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
