Bath Resealing for Bighton homes
We travel to Bighton for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
What affects the price in Bighton
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bighton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing in Bighton without replacing anything
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bighton and across Hampshire.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Also in Bighton
Can I fix it myself?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Bighton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Bighton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What we’re called out for in Bighton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal

Questions from Bighton
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Resealing in Bighton: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
