Bath resealing at your home in Braithwaite
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 work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Braithwaite and across Bradford.

FAQs for Braithwaite
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How much does bath resealing cost in Braithwaite?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Common problems we fix in Braithwaite
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms

- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Braithwaite, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What else we do in Braithwaite
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
