Bath resealing in Bishopthorpe without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Resealing in Bishopthorpe: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Bishopthorpe. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bishopthorpe questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
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.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
