Bath resealing in Aldeby, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Aldeby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What else we do in Aldeby
Aldeby: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Aldeby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
