For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath resealing in Forton, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- An untidy old seal

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Forton
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
