Bath resealing in Rushmere St Andrew, done in place
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Rushmere St Andrew: your questions answered
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are there extra charges for Rushmere St Andrew?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What affects the price in Rushmere St Andrew
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
