Why it’s worth resealing in Old Wives Lees
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Old Wives Lees
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How much does bath resealing cost in Old Wives Lees?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Wives Lees included. Travel is included in the price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
