Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Bath resealing in Painter's Forstal, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Most clients in Painter's Forstal get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Signs you need bath resealing in Painter's Forstal
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Painter's Forstal: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
