About our bath resealing in Downham
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. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Downham
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
