Bath resealing at your home in Elphinstone
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Elphinstone
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Elphinstone
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
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.
