Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Questions from St Boswells
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Other services in St Boswells
Landlord and trade work in St Boswells
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in St Boswells, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
