About our bath resealing in Upper Elkstone
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Upper Elkstone
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Upper Elkstone?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
