About our bath resealing in Daw's End
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Daw's End

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos 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.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
