Bath resealing in Bitterscote without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Bitterscote: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Bitterscote and the rest of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Bitterscote
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
