Bath resealing in Tewin, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and leaks at the edges.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Do you need bath resealing in Tewin?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Tewin
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Resealing in Tewin: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
