Bath resealing in Grotton without replacing anything
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grotton
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Grotton
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

- Black spots in the silicone

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What else we do in Grotton
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
