Bath resealing at your home in Hornsea
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Hornsea
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Hornsea?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hornsea and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Hornsea

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
