Bath resealing in Rodbridge Corner, 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. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and a messy previous reseal, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why it’s worth resealing in Rodbridge Corner
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Rodbridge Corner
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Are there extra charges for Rodbridge Corner?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

Signs you need bath resealing in Rodbridge Corner
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What else we do in Rodbridge Corner
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
