Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Kirk Smeaton, Wakefield
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Kirk Smeaton and across Wakefield. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Kirk Smeaton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include stained silicone and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Kirk Smeaton
Are there extra charges for Kirk Smeaton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirk Smeaton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
