We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Snape

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Resealing in Snape: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Snape

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Snape and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How much does bath resealing cost in Snape?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
