About our bath resealing in Askham Bryan
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why it’s worth resealing in Askham Bryan
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about bath resealing in Askham Bryan
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.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the entire of York?
The entire UK, including all of York. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
