Bath resealing at your home in Little Crakehall

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth resealing in Little Crakehall

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Little Crakehall

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Little Crakehall?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Crakehall and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Little Crakehall

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we’re called out for in Little Crakehall

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not 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

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
