How we handle bath resealing in Letchworth Garden City
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and black spots in the silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Letchworth Garden City. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Letchworth Garden City. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Are there extra charges for Letchworth Garden City?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Letchworth Garden City
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damp near the bath
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
