Bath resealing in Blackhill without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
