Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Tisman's Common
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Tisman's Common?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

When to call us in Tisman's Common
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

- Unsealed corners

- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
