Bath resealing at your home in Linthwaite
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and gaps in the 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.

Linthwaite questions
Do you come to Linthwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Linthwaite and the rest of Kirklees. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Linthwaite
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we are called out for in Linthwaite
Sealant doesn’t 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 are asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Linthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
