Bath resealing at your home in South Kirkby
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for South Kirkby
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in South Kirkby.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
