Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Belcher's Bar
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Belcher's Bar
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Common problems we fix in Belcher's Bar
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Belcher's Bar contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is resealing worth it?

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
