Bath resealing at your home in Shiptonthorpe
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Questions from Shiptonthorpe
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need bath resealing in Shiptonthorpe
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:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
