Bath resealing at your home in Tarraby
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Tarraby questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we’re called out for in Tarraby
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tarraby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Is resealing worth it?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For a price in Tarraby, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
