DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we handle bath resealing in Unthank

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
