Bath resealing at your home in Houghton Regis
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re often asked to fix an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Houghton Regis
Do you cover the whole of Central Bedfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Houghton Regis included. Travel is included in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Houghton Regis?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.
