Bath resealing in Brecks without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Brecks. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brecks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath resealing in Brecks
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What else we do in Brecks
Landlord and trade work in Brecks
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
Common problems we fix in Brecks
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Resealing in Brecks: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
