How we handle bath resealing in The Rock
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in The Rock as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What else we do in The Rock
The Rock questions
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are there extra charges for The Rock?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Telford and Wrekin and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
