Bath resealing in Buckabank, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Buckabank as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Buckabank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Buckabank, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
