Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Carlton, Leeds
Bath resealing across Carlton and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Carlton: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How much does bath resealing cost in Carlton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need bath resealing in Carlton?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners

Resealing in Carlton: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Carlton. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
