Bath resealing in Old Way, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Old Way
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Old Way?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TA19 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Signs you need bath resealing in Old Way
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Old Way
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Wet rooms
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
