Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing at your home in Navestock Heath
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and unsealed corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
