Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Resealing in Hitchin: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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 price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
