Your questions about bath resealing in Forton
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Bath resealing in Forton, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Forton
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why it’s worth resealing in Forton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
