The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book

What we are called out for in Woodlesford

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work

  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Landlord and trade work in Woodlesford

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlesford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Woodlesford

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leeds.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
