Bath resealing at your home in Bestwood St Albans
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Bestwood St Albans
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Bestwood St Albans: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Bestwood St Albans, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
