Bath Resealing for Cattawade homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Cattawade and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Cattawade, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Cattawade questions
Do you work in Cattawade?
We do. We send a technician to Cattawade for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What affects the price in Cattawade
We don’t charge extra for travel to Cattawade. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
