Is resealing worth it?

The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we handle bath resealing in Hillclifflane
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE56 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Hillclifflane
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
