Bath resealing in Alphamstone, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Resealing in Alphamstone: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Alphamstone, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
