Bath resealing in Benter without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray

Resealing in Benter: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Benter: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you come to Benter?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Benter. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
When to call us in Benter
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Common reasons people in Benter contact us are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Benter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
