About our bath resealing in Phantassie
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Phantassie: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long will it take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
