Bath Resealing in The Raikes
Bath resealing in and around The Raikes: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are

Bath resealing in The Raikes without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
The Raikes questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How much does bath resealing cost in The Raikes?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
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.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
What we do, step by step
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. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
