Skelton questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of York?
The entire UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
How much does bath resealing cost in Skelton?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your YO30 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How we handle bath resealing in Skelton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When to call us in Skelton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Resealing in Skelton: why it matters
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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Skelton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, 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.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
