Bath resealing in Battisford Tye without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we are called out for in Battisford Tye
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath resealing costs
