Bath resealing in Torthorwald without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Is resealing worth it?
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
