Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Fishtoft, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When to call us in Fishtoft
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Resealing in Fishtoft: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Fishtoft
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Fishtoft?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Fishtoft from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What affects the price in Fishtoft
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
