Bath resealing at your home in Rushford
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Rushford. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Rushford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
