Bath resealing in Aberford without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Aberford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What else we do in Aberford
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Aberford
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Questions from Aberford
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
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 new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you cover the entire of Leeds?
Everywhere in the UK, Aberford included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
