About our bath resealing in Sawley
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We are frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Sawley
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
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 whole item and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Sawley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sawley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What affects the price in Sawley
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sawley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
