Bath resealing in Totley Brook without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Your questions about bath resealing in Totley Brook
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are there extra charges for Totley Brook?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Totley Brook
There’s no charge for travel to Totley Brook. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
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.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Totley Brook?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Resealing in Totley Brook: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
