How we handle bath resealing in Bulstrode
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Bulstrode
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bulstrode: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Bulstrode and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Landlord and trade work in Bulstrode
For anyone letting property in or around Bulstrode, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bulstrode
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
