Bath resealing at your home in Ballards Gore
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Ballards Gore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Ballards Gore questions
Do you cover Ballards Gore?
We do. Technicians travel to Ballards Gore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
