Bath resealing at your home in Great Thirkleby
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Thirkleby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Great Thirkleby questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you need bath resealing in Great Thirkleby?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What affects the price in Great Thirkleby
We charge the same across the UK, including Great Thirkleby. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
