How we handle bath resealing in Old Town
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and black mould in the sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
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
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Town use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Old Town and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Common problems we fix in Old Town
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
