Bath Resealing in Andertons Mill
We travel to Andertons Mill for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Bath resealing in Andertons Mill, done in place
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, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Andertons Mill questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need bath resealing in Andertons Mill?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
