Signs you need bath resealing in Stape
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Resealing in Stape: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What else we do in Stape
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Stape
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
