Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath resealing in New Earswick without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in New Earswick?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
