How we handle bath resealing in Nettlesworth
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Nettlesworth: your questions answered
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does bath resealing cost in Nettlesworth?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DH2 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
