Bath resealing in Langtree without replacing anything
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Langtree as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Do you need bath resealing in Langtree?
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Langtree: your questions answered
Do you cover Langtree?
We do. We send a technician to Langtree for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
