Bath resealing at your home in Mortimer's Cross
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Questions from Mortimer's Cross
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Mortimer's Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mortimer's Cross. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Landlord and trade work in Mortimer's Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath resealing in Mortimer's Cross
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
