Bath resealing in Redtye, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Redtye. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Redtye
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Redtye
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
