DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Bath resealing at your home in St Albans
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We are frequently asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we’re called out for in St Albans
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
St Albans: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
What affects the price in St Albans
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in St Albans get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
