Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Appleby
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Common reasons people in Appleby contact us are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone

Resealing in Appleby: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
