Bath resealing in Northlew without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Northlew
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why it’s worth resealing in Northlew
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northlew
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, 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’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Northlew
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
