Bath resealing in Angerton, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and unsealed corners.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Angerton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Angerton questions
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Angerton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
