Bath resealing at your home in Ardminish
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ardminish and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Ardminish
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Ardminish: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
