Bath resealing at your home in Spanby
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Spanby
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Spanby included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlord and trade work in Spanby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spanby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
