About our bath resealing in Balgreen
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What a repair cannot fix

- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What we are called out for in Balgreen
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Balgreen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
