What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Swaithe
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Swaithe
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Swaithe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Swaithe and the rest of Barnsley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Barnsley.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Resealing in Swaithe: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
