Bath resealing at your home in Santon Downham
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Santon Downham
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Santon Downham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There is 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.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
