Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shadwell, Leeds
We travel to Shadwell for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
About our bath resealing in Shadwell
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

FAQs for Shadwell
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Common problems we fix in Shadwell
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Shadwell
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Shadwell. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
