Bath resealing in and around Letham: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Bath resealing in Letham, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Letham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Letham: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Letham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
