Bath resealing in Lower Layham 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. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Lower Layham questions
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your IP7 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in Lower Layham
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Lower Layham contact us include:
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Lower Layham
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
