About our bath resealing in Walton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Walton: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wakefield.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth resealing in Walton
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Unsealed corners
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
