Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Longley, Calderdale
Bath resealing in and around Longley: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
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 without visiting.
Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Longley
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlord and trade work in Longley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Common problems we fix in Longley
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
