Bath resealing in Podsmead, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Podsmead
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Podsmead is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Landlord and trade work in Podsmead
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Podsmead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Podsmead?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
