Bath resealing in Shipley without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipley
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Shipley questions
Do you cover Shipley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shipley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Shipley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
