How we handle bath resealing in Clovenfords
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Clovenfords. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Resealing in Clovenfords: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
