Bath resealing at your home in Sawmills
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Sawmills
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about bath resealing in Sawmills
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Sawmills. Prices do not change with location.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
