Bath resealing in Bottesford, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no area surcharge for Bottesford. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Bottesford
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Bottesford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bottesford and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much does bath resealing cost in Bottesford?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NG13 postcode.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
