Resealing in Balls Green: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Balls Green
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Questions from Balls Green
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Balls Green.
How much does bath resealing cost in Balls Green?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
