Common questions in Arlington
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Arlington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Bath resealing in Arlington without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need bath resealing in Arlington
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black mould in the sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arlington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arlington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
