- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing in Appledore, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Appledore questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Appledore?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
