Questions from Grangetown
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When to call us in Grangetown
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
