About our bath resealing in Foldrings
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. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Foldrings
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Foldrings?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S35 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sheffield.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Foldrings. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Foldrings get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
