Bath resealing in Alkborough, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Alkborough
We do not charge extra for travel to Alkborough. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Alkborough
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Alkborough
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Alkborough questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
