Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Stanley. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Stanley
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Stanley
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stanley?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
