Bath resealing in Alvescot without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Alvescot
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Alvescot and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
