Bath resealing in Stanford Rivers without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about damp near the bath and gaps in the seal.
In a village like Stanford Rivers, walls and floors in older homes are rarely perfectly straight, so a careful reseal matters even more.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Stanford Rivers
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it. For a rural address like Stanford Rivers, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Stanford Rivers
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stanford Rivers
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. In an older home in a village like Stanford Rivers, replacing a bath or shower can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
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.
