Bath resealing in Apsley, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Apsley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Apsley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apsley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Apsley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Apsley
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
