Bath resealing in Basford, done in place
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. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Basford

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Basford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Basford
Your questions about bath resealing in Basford
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover the whole of Nottingham?
We cover the whole UK, including Basford and the rest of Nottingham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Basford?
We do. We send a technician to Basford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
When to call us in Basford
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
