How we handle bath resealing in Sheldwich Lees
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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.

What else we do in Sheldwich Lees
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Sheldwich Lees
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
