How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath resealing in Ball Hill
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ball Hill
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
