About our bath resealing in New Zealand
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Resealing in New Zealand: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What we are called out for in New Zealand
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Common reasons people in New Zealand contact us include:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

New Zealand questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you work in New Zealand?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to New Zealand from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to New Zealand. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
