About our bath resealing in Balstonia
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Landlord and trade work in Balstonia
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balstonia use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- 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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
