Bath resealing in West Stour without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Do you need bath resealing in West Stour?

- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
