Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Longley, Kirklees
Bath resealing in Longley without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
About our bath resealing in Longley
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

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, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Longley
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
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. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kirklees and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
