Bath resealing at your home in Leckwith
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Leckwith questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Resealing in Leckwith: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Leckwith
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Leckwith. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
