About our bath resealing in Osgodby
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Osgodby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Osgodby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Resealing in Osgodby: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common questions in Osgodby
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
