Bath resealing in Gristhorpe without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Gristhorpe questions

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Gristhorpe and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gristhorpe.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Do you work in Gristhorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gristhorpe. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath resealing in Gristhorpe?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

  • What preparation is included

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gristhorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
