About our bath resealing in Carfin
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Carfin and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Carfin
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, 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.
Carfin: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Why it’s worth resealing in Carfin
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
