Bath resealing in Doncaster without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Doncaster
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doncaster as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?

Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
