What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

About our bath resealing in Scotton

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Scotton

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Scotton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Scotton.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why it’s worth resealing in Scotton

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
