What a repair can’t fix

Bath resealing at your home in South Elmsall

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common problems we fix in South Elmsall

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from South Elmsall

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for South Elmsall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WF9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
