Why it’s worth resealing in Boddam
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

About our bath resealing in Boddam
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our repair technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Boddam
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your ZE2 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
