Your questions about bath resealing in Forton Heath
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Resealing in Forton Heath: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
