About our bath resealing in Abbotsbury
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abbotsbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Abbotsbury
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
