How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Most clients in Fishburn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Bath resealing in Fishburn without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and missing sealant behind the taps, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Fishburn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you work in Fishburn?
We do. Technicians travel to Fishburn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Fishburn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Fishburn
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
