About our bath resealing in Barnsley
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Barnsley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps

FAQs for Barnsley
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our pricing.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in Barnsley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, 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.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
