Bath resealing at your home in Potash
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Potash questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Potash. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why it’s worth resealing in Potash
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
