Bath resealing in Clayton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix damp near the bath and an untidy old seal, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Clayton

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

- Mould you can’t clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
