Bath resealing at your home in Yorkletts
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps.

Common questions in Yorkletts
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Do you come to Yorkletts?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Yorkletts for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Yorkletts. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why it’s worth resealing in Yorkletts
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
