Bath resealing in Aughton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aughton: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Aughton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aughton and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Aughton

What else we do in Aughton
When to call us in Aughton
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Aughton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
