Why it’s worth resealing in Measham
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Bath resealing in Measham, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant, we can usually put it right, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Measham
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What else we do in Measham
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Measham questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE12 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
