About bath resealing in Down
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Down
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Down questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you cover Down?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Down for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
