Bath resealing in Careby without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Careby
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PE9 postcode.
Do you work in Careby?
We do. We send a technician to Careby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Resealing in Careby: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Careby. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
