Bath resealing in Primethorpe without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and damp near the bath.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath resealing in Primethorpe
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
