Bath resealing at your home in Borstal
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Borstal
There is no charge for travel to Borstal. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Borstal
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Borstal?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Resealing in Borstal: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
