Bath resealing in Longlane without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Resealing in Longlane: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Longlane
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Longlane?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Longlane, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
What we are called out for in Longlane
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
