- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we handle bath resealing in St Martin
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Martin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for St Martin
How do I get a price for bath resealing in St Martin?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
