Bath resealing at your home in Carlton
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
If you’re in Carlton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Carlton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Other services in Carlton
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bedford Borough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Questions from Carlton

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Carlton.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
