Bath resealing in Netherby, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Netherby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Do you need bath resealing in Netherby?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 quote, not a guess.
Questions from Netherby
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
