Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Kettlethorpe and across Wakefield. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle bath resealing in Kettlethorpe
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Do you need bath resealing in Kettlethorpe?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Kettlethorpe
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?
We cover the whole UK, including Kettlethorpe and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
