Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Colton Lane End, North Yorkshire
We travel to Colton Lane End for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How we handle bath resealing in Colton Lane End
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Questions from Colton Lane End
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
