Bath resealing at your home in Foston
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Foston questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Foston
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
When to call us in Foston
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Foston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
