Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
When to call us in Kingsholm
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Kingsholm get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath resealing in Kingsholm
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Kingsholm?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How to get a price
