How we handle bath resealing in Stranton
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Stranton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Resealing in Stranton: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Stranton
Are there extra charges for Stranton?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you work in Stranton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stranton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
