What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Sherburn
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal

What else we do in Sherburn
Why it’s worth resealing in Sherburn
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Take a look at our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Sherburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Common questions in Sherburn
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
