Bath resealing in St Leonard's, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for St Leonard's
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
