About our bath resealing in Lower Dicker
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Lower Dicker, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lower Dicker
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Lower Dicker
There is no area surcharge for Lower Dicker. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lower Dicker
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors.
