About our bath resealing in Aylburton
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about bath resealing in Aylburton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How much does bath resealing cost in Aylburton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
