Aldborough: your questions answered
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Bath resealing in Aldborough, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Aldborough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldborough
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
