About our bath resealing in Alverthorpe
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business

Alverthorpe questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
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.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Alverthorpe. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Alverthorpe
Landlord and trade work in Alverthorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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 about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
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.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Common problems we fix in Alverthorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
