Bath resealing across Stour Provost and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.

- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How we handle bath resealing in Stour Provost
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Your questions about bath resealing in Stour Provost
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Stour Provost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why it’s worth resealing in Stour Provost
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
