Bath resealing at your home in Escomb
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
FAQs for Escomb
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Escomb included. Travel is included in the price.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

What affects the price in Escomb
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Escomb, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Escomb
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
