Bath resealing in Labour-in-vain, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Labour-in-vain
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Labour-in-vain?
We do. Technicians travel to Labour-in-vain from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What we do, step by step
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 about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Labour-in-vain use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath resealing costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth resealing in Labour-in-vain
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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
