Bath resealing in Barnes Cray 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. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Barnes Cray
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Barnes Cray: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
