Landlord and trade work in Elvington
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
About our bath resealing in Elvington
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Elvington questions
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Common problems we fix in Elvington
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
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.
