Bath resealing at your home in Alnwickhill
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Alnwickhill questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Alnwickhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

When to call us in Alnwickhill
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
