Bath resealing at your home in Leyburn
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What affects the price in Leyburn
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Leyburn
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.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Unsealed corners
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
