The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out

About our bath resealing in Bretton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Bretton questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bretton
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
