DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Bath resealing in Earlsheaton without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Earlsheaton

- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it

Why it’s worth resealing in Earlsheaton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
