About our bath resealing in Renishaw
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Renishaw. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath resealing in Renishaw
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?

What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you seal over the old sealant?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Renishaw for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
