All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whitkirk and across Leeds.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Resealing in Whitkirk: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath resealing in Whitkirk
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
