What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we are called out for in Eyke
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Eyke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Your questions about bath resealing in Eyke
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
