Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath resealing at your home in Bubwith
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. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need bath resealing in Bubwith?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why it’s worth resealing in Bubwith
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Bubwith
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Bubwith: your questions answered
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Bubwith?
We do. We send a technician to Bubwith for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
