Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roundswell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we handle bath resealing in Roundswell

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Roundswell

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Roundswell questions

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you come to Roundswell?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Roundswell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
