About our bath resealing in Lightwood
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Lightwood: your questions answered
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Lightwood
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lightwood
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lightwood
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One price list for the whole UK

Common problems we fix in Lightwood
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
