Related advice
Bath resealing in Burghfield Bridge, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Do you need bath resealing in Burghfield Bridge?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What else we do in Burghfield Bridge
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 generally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
