Bath resealing at your home in Castlereagh
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and damp near the bath, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castlereagh
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Castlereagh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How the damage happens
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
