Bath resealing in Magdalene, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Magdalene
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Magdalene: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does bath resealing cost in Magdalene?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH15 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
