About our bath resealing in Fivehead
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Resealing in Fivehead: 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fivehead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Other services in Fivehead
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
For a price in Fivehead, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Common questions in Fivehead
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Fivehead?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
