Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs

How we handle bath resealing in Swarcliffe
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and damp near the bath.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
