Advice
How we handle bath resealing in Mainsforth
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and an untidy old seal.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

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
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Mainsforth: your questions answered
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath resealing in Mainsforth?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
