Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Twyford, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and stained silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Do you need bath resealing in Twyford?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
