DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
About our bath resealing in Knaresborough
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Knaresborough and across North Yorkshire.

Knaresborough questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Common problems we fix in Knaresborough
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knaresborough
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knaresborough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
