- Missing sealant behind the taps
How we handle bath resealing in Belses
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and mould you can’t clean out.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common problems we fix in Belses
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks at the edges
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Belses
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Belses included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Belses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
