Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why it’s worth resealing in Alweston
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Alweston: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Alweston?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Signs you need bath resealing in Alweston
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Alweston. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
