- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Why it’s worth resealing in Foxholes
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Do you need bath resealing in Foxholes?
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Foxholes
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
