How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

About our bath resealing in Netherley

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Common questions in Netherley

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Netherley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Netherley

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

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. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
