Bath resealing in Somerby without replacing anything
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.
When to call us in Somerby
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Somerby questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
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 entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
