Bath resealing at your home in Toab
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Toab customers choose us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Toab questions
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toab as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
