Bath resealing at your home in Bothel
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bothel
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bothel use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Bothel. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Common questions in Bothel

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
