Bath resealing in Barcham Corner without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Barcham Corner. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Resealing in Barcham Corner: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
Take a look at our full price list.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Barcham Corner: your questions answered
Do you work in Barcham Corner?
We do. Technicians travel to Barcham Corner from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barcham Corner use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
