Bath resealing in Great Canfield, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Great Canfield
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What affects the price in Great Canfield
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Great Canfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Great Canfield
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath resealing cost in Great Canfield?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
