Bath resealing in Conkwell, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Conkwell
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Conkwell
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.
