Carlton questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Carlton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- 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, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, 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.
