Bath resealing at your home in Elmstead
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about bath resealing in Elmstead
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
