Bath resealing at your home in St John
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in St John
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in St John?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to St John and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
