Bath resealing in Anthorn, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Resealing in Anthorn: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anthorn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
