Bath resealing for Robin Hood's Bay homes

About our bath resealing in Robin Hood's Bay

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Robin Hood's Bay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Robin Hood's Bay: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Robin Hood's Bay?

We do. Technicians travel to Robin Hood's Bay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Robin Hood's Bay

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
