How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Bath resealing in Clifton without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What affects the price in Clifton
We don’t charge extra for travel to Clifton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What else we do in Clifton
Do you need bath resealing in Clifton?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Clifton
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Clifton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Clifton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
