Bath resealing at your home in East Taphouse
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in East Taphouse
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around East Taphouse, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Questions from East Taphouse
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in East Taphouse?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Taphouse. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
