Bath resealing in Alvington, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We are often asked to fix unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about bath resealing in Alvington
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Resealing in Alvington: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your GL15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Alvington
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
Before you book anyone

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

Work for landlords and builders
