How we handle bath resealing in Alvaston
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Alvaston. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath resealing in Alvaston?
