DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our bath resealing in Arbourthorne
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and unsealed corners.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What bath resealing costs
There’s no area surcharge for Arbourthorne. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Do you need bath resealing in Arbourthorne?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Common questions in Arbourthorne
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover Arbourthorne?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Arbourthorne. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Arbourthorne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Why it’s worth resealing in Arbourthorne
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
