When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Basins & vanity units

Bath resealing at your home in Herston
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
FAQs for Herston
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
