How we handle bath resealing in Pityme
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pityme
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Pityme. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
