Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Astwood: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK16 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Astwood
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners

Resealing in Astwood: why it matters

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
