About our bath resealing in Crafthole
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Crafthole, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
What we are called out for in Crafthole
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day

What else we do in Crafthole
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Crafthole: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does bath resealing cost in Crafthole?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Crafthole?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Crafthole from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Crafthole. What changes the price is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
