How we handle bath resealing in Monkey Street
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Monkey Street. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
