Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Mabgate, Leeds
Our technicians come to Mabgate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing at your home in Mabgate
We cut out all of the old sealant, 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. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Mabgate questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

Do you need bath resealing in Mabgate?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Resealing in Mabgate: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
