How we handle bath resealing in Pickering Nook
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Pickering Nook: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does bath resealing cost in Pickering Nook?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Resealing in Pickering Nook: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we’re called out for in Pickering Nook
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean 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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
