How we handle bath resealing in May Bank
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including May Bank. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in May Bank, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from May Bank
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is resealing worth it?
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, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
