How we handle bath resealing in Bedwell
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’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bedwell
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Bedwell
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Bedwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bedwell. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
