Acol questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Acol?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Acol for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
About our bath resealing in Acol
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

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.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acol as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
