How we handle bath resealing in Monk's Hill
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and gaps in the seal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Monk's Hill
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monk's Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common questions in Monk's Hill
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
