Bath Resealing for Craster homes
Bath resealing in Craster without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Craster
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and unsealed corners, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Craster as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Craster. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craster. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Craster: your questions answered
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE66 postcode.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
