Bath resealing at your home in Carlton
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Carlton: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Carlton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carlton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Carlton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Resealing in Carlton: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Carlton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
