Signs you need bath resealing in Rickerby
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps in the seal

Bath resealing at your home in Rickerby
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Rickerby

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rickerby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Rickerby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in Rickerby
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Rickerby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

We’ll give you the curing time.
