Bath resealing in Middlebrook without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Middlebrook: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How much does bath resealing cost in Middlebrook?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Middlebrook. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
