Bath resealing in Featherstone without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
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. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

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
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Featherstone
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath resealing in Featherstone
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
Everywhere in the UK, Featherstone included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
