About our bath resealing in Walham
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and unsealed corners.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Walham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Walham questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you come to Walham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Walham and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice
Resealing in Walham: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
