What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Bibury questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
