About our bath resealing in Besses o' th' Barn
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
