Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Shibden, Calderdale
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Shibden and across Calderdale. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in Shibden
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Shibden. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HX3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
