Landlord and trade work in Heslington
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Bath resealing in Heslington, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Heslington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Most clients in Heslington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why it’s worth resealing in Heslington
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything

Common problems we fix in Heslington
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
