About our bath resealing in Starling's Green
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Starling's Green
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Starling's Green?
We do. Technicians travel to Starling's Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Starling's Green?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
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.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Starling's Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why it’s worth resealing in Starling's Green
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
