- Missing sealant behind the taps

- Leaks at the edges
How we handle bath resealing in Scarth Hill
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Scarth Hill as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scarth Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Scarth Hill?
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Scarth Hill
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
