How we handle bath resealing 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 resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with gaps in the seal and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carlton as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Shower trays & enclosures

Your questions about bath resealing in Carlton
Do you work in Carlton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carlton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Carlton
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carlton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth resealing in Carlton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
