Bath resealing in Ballinger Common, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ballinger Common
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Buckinghamshire.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
