About bath resealing in Trafford
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
What we are called out for in Trafford
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
