Bath resealing in High Friarside, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about bath resealing in High Friarside
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in High Friarside
For anyone letting property in or around High Friarside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
