Bath resealing at your home in Bournbrook
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Bournbrook questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you come to Bournbrook?
We do. Technicians travel to Bournbrook from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Bournbrook get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
