Why it’s worth resealing in Steps
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.
What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Steps questions
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Steps?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Steps from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
