Bath resealing in Middle Herrington, done in place
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’re frequently asked to fix unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we’re called out for in Middle Herrington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:

Why it’s worth resealing in Middle Herrington
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
