Bath resealing at your home in Redbourn
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected

Redbourn: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
