Bath resealing in Acomb without replacing anything
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. We’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Acomb. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Acomb
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Resealing in Acomb: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Acomb: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
