How we handle bath resealing in Melmerby
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about bath resealing in Melmerby
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before booking anyone
