About our bath resealing in Grimpo
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What else we do in Grimpo
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Grimpo: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Resealing in Grimpo: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
