How we handle bath resealing in Old Town
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damp near the bath and gaps in the seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Old Town
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
The price 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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Do you need bath resealing in Old Town?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
