What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Signs you need bath resealing in Scarborough

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:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

Scarborough: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ME1 postcode.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scarborough

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Scarborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
