How we handle bath resealing in Balterley Green
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Balterley Green questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Balterley Green?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Balterley Green
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
