Bath resealing in Clifton, done in place
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. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
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.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Clifton
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clifton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath resealing in Clifton?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
