Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with stained silicone and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Arlington
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

What else we do in Arlington
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Resealing in Arlington: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arlington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
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
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
