Bath resealing across Ledbury and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Bath resealing in Ledbury, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What we’re called out for in Ledbury
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Ledbury: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ledbury?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Resealing in Ledbury: 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. 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.
