Bath resealing in Malham without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Malham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common problems we fix in Malham
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Malham
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
