How we handle bath resealing in Kirk Hammerton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Kirk Hammerton questions
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kirk Hammerton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
