How we handle bath resealing in South Heath
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in South Heath
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in South Heath
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover South Heath?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Heath. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Heath
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why it’s worth resealing in South Heath
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
