How we handle bath resealing in Abington Vale
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are mould you can’t clean out and gaps in the seal.
Around Abington Vale, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, where a reseal is a quick job that keeps water out.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Visits around Abington Vale are usually simple: we park, protect the room and get started.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Abington Vale
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps in the seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
Rented homes near Northampton station (about 2.4 miles west) change hands frequently, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Abington Vale questions
I let a flat near Northampton station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. We redo the sealant around baths and showers between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Do you work for schools and businesses in Abington Vale?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We will agree timings that suit the building.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
