About our bath resealing in Claxton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Claxton questions
Do you come to Claxton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Claxton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Claxton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
