How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Barham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Barham: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Let steam out after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Barham
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
