- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Advice
Bath resealing in Linford without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Common problems we fix in Linford
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Why it’s worth resealing in Linford
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Linford
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Linford?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SS17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
