Bath resealing in Linfitts without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Linfitts questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Linfitts?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Linfitts from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Linfitts
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We leave the room as we found it
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Linfitts
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Linfitts. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
