Bath resealing in Sholden without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Sholden. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
