Bath resealing at your home in North Elmsall
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. If you’re dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
North Elmsall questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
We work UK-wide, so North Elmsall is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WF9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
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 isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
