Bath resealing in Inkpen, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Inkpen. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Common questions in Inkpen
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you come to Inkpen?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Inkpen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Inkpen?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
