Bath resealing at your home in Leighton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Leighton: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leighton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leighton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Leighton. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
