Bath resealing in Crossgate without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Crossgate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Crossgate: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Signs you need bath resealing in Crossgate
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Resealing in Crossgate: why it matters

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
