Bath resealing in Arborfield Garrison, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and black spots in the silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Arborfield Garrison. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

FAQs for Arborfield Garrison
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Arborfield Garrison?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
