Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
About our bath resealing in Charleston
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charleston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Charleston, 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.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Signs you need bath resealing in Charleston
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Charleston questions
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
