Your questions about bath resealing in Sapiston
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sapiston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Bath resealing in Sapiston without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 normally the cheaper route.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When to call us in Sapiston
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Sapiston. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Sapiston
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
