Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Empingham
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Empingham questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath resealing cost in Empingham?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When to call us in Empingham
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
