Why it’s worth resealing in Bathway
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Common questions in Bathway
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Bathway?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bathway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Common problems we fix in Bathway
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What affects the price in Bathway
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
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, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
