How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
How we handle bath resealing in Markfield
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Markfield
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Mould you cannot clean out

Your questions about bath resealing in Markfield
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Markfield?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
