The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Bath resealing in Low Ackworth, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Common questions in Low Ackworth

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Low Ackworth included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Low Ackworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need bath resealing in Low Ackworth

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Resealing in Low Ackworth: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Low Ackworth customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
