How we handle bath resealing in Bacton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath resealing in Bacton?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Bacton. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

Bacton: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Bacton?
We do. We send a technician to Bacton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
