What we’re called out for in Ampleforth
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
Bath resealing in Ampleforth without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Ampleforth
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Ampleforth?
We do. We send a technician to Ampleforth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
