When to call us in Birling
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Questions from Birling
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
