What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Thwing
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant

Thwing: what to know about resealing
Thwing is about 8 miles north of Driffield, in East Riding of Yorkshire. Jobs in Thwing are booked in like any other job: a fixed price from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Thwing is one of 299 towns and villages in East Riding of Yorkshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Thwing to Leeds (51 miles away).
Here we cover the YO25 postcode area for bath resealing. Bath resealing is available to homes on Main Street and Octon Road and the roads around them. We also travel to Wold Newton (2 miles north), Burton Fleming (2 miles north-east), Foxholes (3 miles north-west), Langtoft (3 miles south-west) and Rudston (3 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Bridlington (8 miles east), Driffield (8 miles south), Hilderthorpe (8 miles east), Flamborough (11 miles east), Nafferton (7 miles south) and Hutton Cranswick (11 miles south).
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. For a rural home like those around Thwing, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath resealing is one trip.
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Thwing
Do you come out to small places like Thwing?
Yes, we do: Thwing is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it. Somewhere as small as Thwing, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the bath resealing works exactly as anywhere else.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
