About our bath resealing in Tenston
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Tenston
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Tenston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Resealing in Tenston: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.

Common questions in Tenston
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
