How we handle bath resealing in Shalden Green
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.

FAQs for Shalden Green
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath resealing cost in Shalden Green?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Shalden Green?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shalden Green and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Shalden Green.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Shalden Green
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
