Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Your questions about bath resealing in Athelington
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

We will give you the curing time.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Athelington?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Athelington
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
