About our bath resealing in Benfieldside
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
FAQs for Benfieldside
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Benfieldside?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
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.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
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.
