About our bath resealing in Pelham
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Landlord and trade work in Pelham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Pelham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath resealing in Pelham
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Questions from Pelham
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does bath resealing cost in Pelham?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Pelham
How it works

- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
