Bath resealing in Restalrig, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and old sealant that looks dirty.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Restalrig
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Resealing in Restalrig: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Restalrig. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Signs you need bath resealing in Restalrig

- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
