Bath resealing near Sheffield

Bath resealing in Sheffield without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Sheffield

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheffield

For anyone letting property in or around Sheffield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheffield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

FAQs for Sheffield

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried 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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Sheffield and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Sheffield

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
