Bath resealing in Whenby without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Whenby
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Signs you need bath resealing in Whenby
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
