About our bath resealing in Crookgate Bank
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Crookgate Bank
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What affects the price in Crookgate Bank
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Crookgate Bank questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
