Bath resealing in Knapton without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Advice
FAQs for Knapton
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Knapton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Knapton and the rest of York. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
