About our bath resealing in Balmerlawn
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Balmerlawn: your questions answered
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Resealing in Balmerlawn: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
