Bath resealing in York, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Common questions in York
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are there extra charges for York?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Signs you need bath resealing in York
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including York. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
