Lower Raydon questions
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you come to Lower Raydon?
We do. We send a technician to Lower Raydon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Bath resealing in Lower Raydon without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lower Raydon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.
