Bath resealing at your home in Forgeside
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. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks at the edges and an untidy old seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Your questions about bath resealing in Forgeside
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NP4 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
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.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
If you are in Forgeside and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
