How we handle bath resealing in Skelwith Bridge
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Skelwith Bridge as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Skelwith Bridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Other services in Skelwith Bridge
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Skelwith Bridge questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Skelwith Bridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Skelwith Bridge

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
