DIY kit or professional repair?
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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Questions from Bun Othan
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bun Othan
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bun Othan
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
