How we handle bath resealing in Pinford End
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 stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Pinford End. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Common questions in Pinford End
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Why it’s worth resealing in Pinford End
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

What we are called out for in Pinford End
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
