Bath resealing in Foxearth, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include stained silicone and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Foxearth as everywhere else we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Foxearth questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Do you cover Foxearth?
We do. Technicians travel to Foxearth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Foxearth. Prices do not change with location.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Common problems we fix in Foxearth
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
