Bath resealing in Akeley, done in place
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on

Why it’s worth resealing in Akeley
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What else we do in Akeley
Common questions in Akeley
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How much does bath resealing cost in Akeley?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Akeley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we’re called out for in Akeley
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
