Bath resealing at your home in Downfield
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Your questions about bath resealing in Downfield
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Downfield?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Downfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Downfield. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you need bath resealing in Downfield?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlord and trade work in Downfield
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
