About our bath resealing in Heworth
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. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Heworth and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Heworth
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Landlord and trade work in Heworth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common questions in Heworth
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Heworth?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
