How we handle bath resealing in Barley
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Barley: your questions answered
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Are there extra charges for Barley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Barley
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Barley contact us are:
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
