Repairs by material
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, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in Lifton, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Lifton: why it matters
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about bath resealing in Lifton
Do you come to Lifton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lifton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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.

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
