Rookhope questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Rookhope?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Rookhope from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Bath resealing in Rookhope, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. 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 price.
What we are called out for in Rookhope
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Rookhope
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Resealing in Rookhope: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Rooms protected and left tidy
