Bath resealing across Arnold and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
How we handle bath resealing in Arnold
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Arnold: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Arnold and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Arnold
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
