Bath resealing in Tindale Crescent, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need bath resealing in Tindale Crescent
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps

- Whether a trained technician does the job

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
