How we handle bath resealing in Gawthorpe
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and stained silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Gawthorpe
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
Everywhere in the UK, Gawthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Common problems we fix in Gawthorpe
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise 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.
Why book with us

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Gawthorpe. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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.
