Bath resealing at your home in Hightown Heights
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Hightown Heights questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kirklees.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Landlord and trade work in Hightown Heights
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Hightown Heights
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WF15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
