Bath resealing in Binsted without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Binsted questions
Are you a vetted contractor?

Is there a call-out fee?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
