Bath resealing at your home in Staple Tye
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and old sealant that looks dirty.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Staple Tye clients choose us

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the joints dry
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Staple Tye
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Staple Tye?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Staple Tye?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Staple Tye from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.
