Bath resealing at your home in Pathhead
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Common problems we fix in Pathhead
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why it’s worth resealing in Pathhead
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
