Bath resealing in St Ippolyts, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in St Ippolyts
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Landlord and trade work in St Ippolyts
If you manage property in St Ippolyts, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
St Ippolyts: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in St Ippolyts
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
