Bath resealing in Northampton, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Your questions about bath resealing in Northampton
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
What we are called out for in Northampton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Unsealed corners

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
