Bath resealing in High Cross, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NP10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath resealing in High Cross?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you cannot clean out
Before booking anyone

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from High Cross
How much does bath resealing cost in High Cross?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NP10 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
