Bath resealing at your home in East Bowling

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in East Bowling and across Bradford.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why it’s worth resealing in East Bowling

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in East Bowling, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath resealing in East Bowling

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in East Bowling

How do I get a price for bath resealing in East Bowling?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in East Bowling?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Bowling. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Bowling.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in East Bowling

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
