If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

About our bath resealing in Botternell
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Botternell
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Clients usually contact us about:

What affects the price in Botternell
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Botternell
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Botternell?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Botternell. Prices don’t change with location.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
