About our bath resealing in Upper Ruxley
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Ruxley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in Upper Ruxley
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Upper Ruxley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Ruxley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Upper Ruxley. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
For a price in Upper Ruxley, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
