Bath resealing in Foots Cray, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and stained silicone.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Foots Cray
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do you come to Foots Cray?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Foots Cray for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need bath resealing in Foots Cray?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
