Bath resealing in Bentley without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We are often asked to fix black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bentley
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Bentley. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What else we do in Bentley
Common questions in Bentley
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you come to Bentley?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bentley. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Bentley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
