Resealing in Dringhouses: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Bath resealing in Dringhouses without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dringhouses. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dringhouses, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Dringhouses
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
