How we handle bath resealing in Borrowash
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Borrowash
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Borrowash?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are there extra charges for Borrowash?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we are called out for in Borrowash
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
