About our bath resealing in Abridge
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit

Questions from Abridge
Do you come to Abridge?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Abridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Abridge
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we’re called out for in Abridge
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
