About our bath resealing in Skeldyke
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Skeldyke: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
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?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Are there extra charges for Skeldyke?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Skeldyke
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
