Bath resealing in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Questions from South Kirkby and Moorthorpe
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover South Kirkby and Moorthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to South Kirkby and Moorthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
