The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bank Top: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
