About our bath resealing in Loaningfoot
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What do you need from me?

Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Loaningfoot?

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Loaningfoot
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Loaningfoot. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Usually one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
What we are called out for in Loaningfoot
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
