Bath Resealing for Matfield homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Matfield and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Matfield without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and an untidy old seal.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Matfield
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Matfield
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
