Bath resealing in Denby, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Denby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Denby questions
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Denby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Denby, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
