About our bath resealing in Box's Shop
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty, in baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Box's Shop
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Look out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Box's Shop
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath resealing in Box's Shop
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What affects the price in Box's Shop
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Box's Shop, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
