Bath resealing in Melsonby, done in place
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 shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What else we do in Melsonby
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Resealing in Melsonby: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Melsonby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Questions from Melsonby
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
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 you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Melsonby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Melsonby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
