The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare

Bath resealing in Barleythorpe, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and an untidy old seal.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Resealing in Barleythorpe: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Do you need bath resealing in Barleythorpe?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Unsealed corners

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
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, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Common questions in Barleythorpe
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the whole of Rutland?
The entire UK, including all of Rutland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
