Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dedham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dedham
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
