Bath resealing in Bishop's Quay, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix stained silicone and a messy previous reseal, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Bishop's Quay
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
