Bath resealing in Grassholme, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Resealing in Grassholme: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common questions in Grassholme
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Grassholme?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Grassholme from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
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. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Grassholme
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
