Bath resealing in Altofts, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Your questions about bath resealing in Altofts
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Altofts?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Altofts for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WF6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
