Bath resealing in Godshill without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time.

FAQs for Godshill
Do you cover the entire of Isle of Wight?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

What else we do in Godshill
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Godshill get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
