Bath Resealing for Mettingham homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Mettingham and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Bath resealing at your home in Mettingham
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What we’re called out for in Mettingham
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Questions from Mettingham
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does bath resealing cost in Mettingham?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
