How we handle bath resealing in Layerthorpe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What else we do in Layerthorpe
What we’re called out for in Layerthorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Layerthorpe: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of York. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Layerthorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Layerthorpe
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
