About our bath resealing in Stede Quarter
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Stede Quarter?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
