Bath resealing at your home in Sotby
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we’re called out for in Sotby

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit

Questions from Sotby
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How much does bath resealing cost in Sotby?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Sotby?
We do. We send a technician to Sotby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Sotby
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
