About our bath resealing in Abram
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Abram get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Abram
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Common problems we fix in Abram
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
