About our bath resealing in High Grange
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth resealing in High Grange
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
High Grange: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in High Grange?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What affects the price in High Grange
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Common problems we fix in High Grange
