Bath resealing at your home in Five Ash Down
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Five Ash Down: your questions answered
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN22 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
