When to call us in Jolly's Bottom
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Jolly's Bottom
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What affects the price in Jolly's Bottom
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
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 quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
