Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Plompton, North Yorkshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Plompton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Plompton, done in place
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Plompton. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash

- Any details about the material

Common questions in Plompton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
