About our bath resealing in Bolam
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and an untidy old seal.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolam
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room 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 dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
