About our bath resealing in Park Bottom
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Park Bottom questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Park Bottom?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

- Movement in the bath or tray

Prices and what affects them

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Quotes from your photos

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
