Bath resealing in Cattedown without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Common problems we fix in Cattedown
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote

Cattedown: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Resealing in Cattedown: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
