Bath resealing at your home in Talkin
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath resealing in Talkin
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common questions in Talkin
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How much does bath resealing cost in Talkin?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs

- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
