Bath resealing in Sketchley, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and a messy previous reseal.
In a smaller place like Sketchley, resealing is a quick job that protects walls and floors. Baths are sealed full of water, so the joint is at its widest.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. If your bath or shower in Sketchley is sound, a repair is generally the better choice.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common problems we fix in Sketchley
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
Rented homes near Hinckley station (in Sketchley itself) change hands often, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Sketchley questions
Do you take on commercial work in Sketchley?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
I let a flat near Hinckley station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. For a home in Sketchley, we normally park close by and start straight away, after agreeing the plan with you.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
