DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in Tuddenham
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tuddenham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Tuddenham
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
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’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Why it’s worth resealing in Tuddenham
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
