Bath Resealing in Grimbister
We travel to Grimbister for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

What affects the price in Grimbister
There’s no charge for travel to Grimbister. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Grimbister, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Grimbister
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Signs you need bath resealing in Grimbister
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again

- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
