- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps

Bath resealing at your home in Beeston
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Beeston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What areas do you cover?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Beeston?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Beeston?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Beeston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When to call us in Beeston
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
