Bath resealing in Kirby Wiske, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Kirby Wiske: your questions answered
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

What else we do in Kirby Wiske
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Kirby Wiske
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
