How we handle bath resealing in Old Ellerby
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Old Ellerby
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Old Ellerby
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Signs you need bath resealing in Old Ellerby
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
