About our bath resealing in North Reston
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why it’s worth resealing in North Reston
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in North Reston
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Your questions about bath resealing in North Reston
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in North Reston?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area

- The material
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in North Reston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
