10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle bath resealing in Bath

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Bath: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Bath

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Bath. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common questions in Bath

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What areas do you cover?

All of Bath and North East Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. 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.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
