Bath resealing at your home in Stewartby
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stewartby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bedford Borough and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Stewartby
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Different materials, different repairs
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, once the joint is completely dry.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
