Bath resealing in Lofthouse without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Lofthouse and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lofthouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lofthouse
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

Questions from Lofthouse
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you come to Lofthouse?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lofthouse and the rest of Leeds. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
