How we handle bath resealing in Elmdon
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Do you need bath resealing in Elmdon?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

Questions from Elmdon
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Elmdon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Elmdon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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 Elmdon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmdon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
