Bath resealing in Bacton, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Bacton

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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.

Do you come to Bacton?

We do. We send a technician to Bacton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you need bath resealing in Bacton?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

Why it’s worth resealing in Bacton

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
