Bath resealing in Burghill without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Burghill
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Burghill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Burghill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
Resealing in Burghill: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Burghill
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Burghill questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
