Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Bath resealing in Glooston without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Resealing in Glooston: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Glooston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
