Bath resealing in Alphington without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common questions in Alphington
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Alphington included. Travel is included in the price.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
