How we handle bath resealing in Crockey Hill
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and black spots in the silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Crockey Hill
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
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.
