How we handle bath resealing in Froggatt
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Froggatt. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
