Bath resealing at your home in Alton
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Alton: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Alton.
Do you come to Alton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Alton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Alton
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Alton
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
