Bath resealing in Sauchen, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Sauchen
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Resealing in Sauchen: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Sauchen. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sauchen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sauchen
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you hold any accreditations?
