Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Bath resealing at your home in Wyke
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and unsealed corners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What affects the price in Wyke
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Wyke, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath resealing in Wyke
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Wyke?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BD12 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
