Bath resealing in Crumplehorn without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Crumplehorn
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Crumplehorn included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crumplehorn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
