Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Micklethwaite, Bradford
Bath resealing in Micklethwaite without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing at your home in Micklethwaite
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Advice
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, for the same reason.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
