Advice
Bath resealing in Bankfoot without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and old sealant that looks dirty.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we are called out for in Bankfoot
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps in the seal
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Bankfoot
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bankfoot. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Bankfoot
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
