Bath resealing in Pratt's Bottom without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Pratt's Bottom
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
