Bath resealing in Great Barugh, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Great Barugh
There’s no charge for travel to Great Barugh. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Great Barugh
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Resealing in Great Barugh: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Barugh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
