Bath resealing in Northfield without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and leaks at the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we are called out for in Northfield
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What affects the price in Northfield
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northfield
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about bath resealing in Northfield
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH8 postcode.
Do you cover Northfield?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Northfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
