Bath resealing in Haxby without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Haxby: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Haxby questions

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you cover Haxby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Haxby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlord and trade work in Haxby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Haxby

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

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use 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 shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
