Leachkin questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Leachkin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Bath resealing in Leachkin, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, 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.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What we are called out for in Leachkin
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
