About our bath resealing in Howgill
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and stained silicone.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Howgill and across North Yorkshire.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath resealing in Howgill

- An untidy old seal

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
