Bath resealing in Seawick without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Seawick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Seawick. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Seawick
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Common questions in Seawick
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
