Bath resealing in America Ground, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from America Ground
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
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 and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
