Bath resealing in Breeds, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Breeds. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Breeds. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Breeds
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why it’s worth resealing in Breeds
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
