Bath resealing at your home in Ambler Thorn
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Ambler Thorn: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bradford.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

What we are called out for in Ambler Thorn
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why it’s worth resealing in Ambler Thorn
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Ambler Thorn
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
