  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

About our bath resealing in Copmanthorpe

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and black mould in the sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why it’s worth resealing in Copmanthorpe

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing.

What bath resealing costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Copmanthorpe

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are there extra charges for Copmanthorpe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Copmanthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Copmanthorpe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
