About our bath resealing in Carbost
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Carbost. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Carbost get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Carbost
If you manage property in Carbost, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
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 to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Resealing in Carbost: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Your questions about bath resealing in Carbost
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Carbost is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
