About our bath resealing in Farnley
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Resealing in Farnley: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
