Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Saxtead. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Saxtead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Saxtead questions
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Saxtead?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saxtead
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saxtead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
