Bath resealing at your home in East Linton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Do you need bath resealing in East Linton?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Resealing in East Linton: why it matters
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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
