About our bath resealing in Scarborough
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Scarborough
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Scarborough questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you come to Scarborough?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Scarborough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
