Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Monkhill, Wakefield
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Monkhill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Bath resealing in Monkhill, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Monkhill
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Monkhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
For a price in Monkhill, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Monkhill: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How much does bath resealing cost in Monkhill?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF8 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Monkhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Monkhill and the rest of Wakefield. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
