Bath resealing in Motherby, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Motherby questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Motherby.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
