About our bath resealing in Brick End
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Resealing in Brick End: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Brick End
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Brick End questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Brick End is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
