Bath resealing at your home in Tunstall
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Tunstall
Do you cover Tunstall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tunstall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

When to call us in Tunstall
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
