How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

How we handle bath resealing in Unstone
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Unstone. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Your questions about bath resealing in Unstone
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your S18 postcode.
Do you work in Unstone?
We do. We send a technician to Unstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Signs you need bath resealing in Unstone
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
