About our bath resealing in Carberry
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Carberry. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures 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.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Carberry, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Carberry questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are there extra charges for Carberry?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
