About our bath resealing in Castleford
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. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Castleford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage

What affects the price in Castleford
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about bath resealing in Castleford
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castleford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
