About our bath resealing in Benton
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and unsealed corners, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
What we’re called out for in Benton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Questions from Benton
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you work in Benton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Benton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

What affects the price in Benton
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise 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.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
