Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
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.
Irby Hill: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Resealing in Irby Hill: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, 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 are paying for.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Common problems we fix in Irby Hill
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
