Bath resealing at your home in Eldon Lane
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Eldon Lane. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Eldon Lane, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Eldon Lane
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why it’s worth resealing in Eldon Lane
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Eldon Lane
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
