Bath resealing in Reiss without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and unsealed corners, we can help.

How much does bath resealing cost in Reiss?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Reiss?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Reiss for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
