Bath resealing in Hungate without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hungate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Hungate
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover the entire of York?
We cover the entire UK, including Hungate and the rest of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What else we do in Hungate
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 normally the cheaper route.
