Bath resealing at your home in Carlecotes
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.

FAQs for Carlecotes
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Barnsley.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlecotes use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
