Bath resealing in Bush Fair, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bush Fair questions
Do you cover Bush Fair?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bush Fair. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you need bath resealing in Bush Fair?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
