Bath resealing in Etchinghill without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and leaks at the edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What else we do in Etchinghill
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Etchinghill
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When to call us in Etchinghill
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
For a price in Etchinghill, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
