How we handle bath resealing in Nacton
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. If you are dealing with mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps, we can normally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Nacton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath resealing in Nacton
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does bath resealing cost in Nacton?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
