- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Bath resealing in Read without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Your questions about bath resealing in Read
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we’re called out for in Read
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Unsealed corners
- Leaks at the edges
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Read. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Read
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Resealing in Read: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the entire UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
