About our bath resealing in Ingatestone
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Ingatestone
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow around two hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath resealing in Ingatestone?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal

Ingatestone questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Ingatestone?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ingatestone from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
