Bath resealing at your home in Black Horse Drove
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What affects the price in Black Horse Drove
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Black Horse Drove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Black Horse Drove
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Questions from Black Horse Drove
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
