Bath Resealing in Cold Christmas
Bath resealing for Cold Christmas, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing in Cold Christmas, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Cold Christmas
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Cold Christmas
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Cold Christmas. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Cold Christmas and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
