Shibden Dale: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shibden Dale included. Travel is included in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Bath resealing in Shibden Dale without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shibden Dale and across Calderdale.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shibden Dale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
