Bath resealing at your home in Malpas
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Malpas
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Malpas as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Malpas
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Your questions about bath resealing in Malpas
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Malpas?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Signs you need bath resealing in Malpas
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
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 about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
