Bath resealing in Yarrowford, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and a messy previous reseal, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Resealing in Yarrowford: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When to call us in Yarrowford
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Yarrowford
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Yarrowford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Yarrowford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
