Your questions about bath resealing in Sprat's Down
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you come to Sprat's Down?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sprat's Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you need bath resealing in Sprat's Down?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sprat's Down
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Sprat's Down get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Why it’s worth resealing in Sprat's Down
