Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Yarm
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
